                 CARETENDERS HEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 The accompanying  interim  consolidated financial  statements for  the  three
 months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared pursuant to the  rules
 and  regulations   of  the  Securities   and  Exchange  Commission.   Certain
 information  and   footnote  disclosures  normally   included  in   financial
 statements  prepared  in   accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
 principles  have  been  omitted  pursuant  to  such  rules  and  regulations.
 Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the  Company's
 Form 10-K for the year ended March  31, 1997 for further information. In  the
 opinion of  management of  the Company,  the accompanying  unaudited  interim
 financial statements  reflect all  adjustments (consisting  only of  normally
 recurring accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial position  at
 June 30, 1997 and  the results of operations and  cash flows for the  periods
 ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

 The results of operations  for the three months ended  June 30, 1997 are  not
 necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.


 USE OF ESTIMATES

 The preparation of financial statements  in conformity with generally  accepted
 accounting principles  requires management  to make  estimates and  assumptions
 that affect the  reported amounts of assets  and liabilities and disclosure  of
 contingent assets and liabilities at  the date of the financial statements  and
 reported amounts of revenues and  expenses during the reported period.   Actual
 results could differ from those estimates.


2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 Legal Proceedings

 The Company is currently,  and from time to time,  subject to claims and  suits
 arising in the  ordinary course of its  business, including claims for  damages
 for personal injuries.  In  the opinion of management, the ultimate  resolution
 of any of these pending claims and  legal proceedings will not have a  material
 effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 On January 26, 1994 Franklin Capital Associates, Aetna Casualty and Surety  and
 Aetna Life  and Casualty,  shareholders,  who at  one time  held  approximately
 320,000 shares  of the  Company's  common stock  (approximately 13%  of  shares
 outstanding) filed  suit  in Chancery  Court  of Williamson  County,  Tennessee
 claiming unspecified damages not to exceed three million dollars in  connection
 with  registration  rights  they  received  in  the  Company's  acquisition  of
 National Health  Industries in  February 1991.   The suit  alleges the  Company
 failed to use its  best efforts to register the  shares held by the  plaintiffs
 as required by the merger agreement.   The Company believes it has  meritorious
 defenses to the  claims and does not  expect that the  ultimate outcome of  the
 suit will  have a  material impact  on the  Company's results  of operation  or
 financial position.  The Company  plans to  vigorously defend  its position  in
 this  case.   No  amounts have  been  recorded in  the  accompanying  financial
 statements related to this suit.

 In January 1997, Aetna Life &  Casualty withdrew its claim against the  Company

 Net income per  common and  common equivalent share  is computed  based on  the
 weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  and  common  equivalent   shares
 outstanding.   Common equivalent  shares result  from dilutive  stock  options,
 warrants, and convertible preferred stock.

 In March 1997,  the Financial Accounting  Standards Board  issued Statement  of
 Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128).   The
 standard modifies  disclosure  requirements for  companies required  to  report
 earnings  per share  (EPS)  to  include presentations  of  Basic  EPS  (which
 includes no dilution of common  stock equivalents) and, if applicable,  Diluted
 EPS (which reflects the potential  dilution of common stock equivalents).   The
 pro forma Basic and Diluted  EPS for the quarter ended  June 30, 1997 and  1996
 were as follows:

Item  2.  Management's Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
          Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Strategic Focus
- ---------------

The  Company  is positioning  itself  to  take  advantage of  healthcare  reform
activities by  focusing its resources into  its home and community  based health
care business units  which consist of adult day health  services and home health
care (home  health care includes nursing,  infusion therapy and  durable medical
equipment).  These  businesses are involved with the delivery  of health care in
alternative settings which  the Company believes are preferred  by consumers and
operate  at lower  costs than  hospitals and  nursing homes.   The  trend toward
alternative  site   delivery  of  healthcare   is  increasing,  as   more  payor
organizations are seeking to reduce the costs of medical care.

Today more than  seven million senior Americans are  in need of alternatives  to
long-term nursing home confinement and this number is expanding rapidly.   These
individuals  desire to  remain in  their  homes and  out  of nursing  homes  and
conserve their financial resources as long as possible.  Caretenders  SeniorCare
Solutions  TM  provides  seniors  in  need  with  a  lower-cost  alternative  to
institutional care  helping them gain economic  security access to health  care,
mobility and independence without isolation.

Utilizing its strengths in home health  care and adult day health services,  the
Company  is actively  addressing the  issue of  senior care  in America  by  its
comprehensive  strategy _  Caretenders SeniorCare  Solutions TM.   Through  care
management  by a  Registered Nurse  (RN),  Caretenders helps  families  identify
solutions for caring for loved ones who can no longer meet their own health  and
personal care  needs.  Through  the Company's Care  Manager, families can  learn
about long-term  care options  available for  seniors and  obtain assistance  in
choosing from Caretenders'  SeniorCare Day and Home  Health Care Centers or,  if
appropriate, other available community based resources.

The Company  is currently engaged in  an expansion strategy  that began in  late
1996  and will  continue for  the  foreseeable future.   During  this  expansion
period the Company expects to add  up to 28 additional adult day health  centers
and  15  home health  care  centers.   Since  the  inception  of  the  expansion
strategy, the Company has added 7  adult day health services and 12 home  health
care centers.

Earnings For the Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 Versus 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------

The  Company experienced  a 22%  increase in  pre-tax income  despite  investing
$430,199  in  initial  operating  losses  related  to  geographic  expansion  as
compared to $156,505  in 1996.  The increase in  pre-tax income was primarily  a
result of a 15% increase  in net revenues from recurring operations  experienced
by the  Company due to  increased volume.   Selling, General and  Administrative
costs remained  at 11.5% of revenues.   Income tax expense  for 1996 included  a
non-recurring credit of approximately $134,000  or $0.05 per share related to  a
reduction in  a previously  recorded valuation  allowance for  net deferred  tax
assets.  As  a result of these factors, net  income and earnings per share  were
$.09 in 1997 as compared to $.12 for 1996.

The following table reflects  the results of operations separated into  on-going
or recurring operations on an as reported and comparably taxed basis:

<PAGE>

       Home Health Care

       Revenues.  Net revenues  increased approximately  24% primarily  as a
       result  of increased  volumes  in nursing  services,  durable medical
       equipment  rentals  and  infusion  therapies.    Acquired  operations
       accounted for approximately $500,000  of the $3.3 million increase in
       home health revenues while startup operations generated approximately
       $895,000 of revenue growth.  The  balance of the increase in revenues
       came from recurring operations revenue growth of 16%.

       Costs  of Sales  and Services.    Costs of  sales and  services  as a
       percent of  net revenues  decreased primarily  due to  revenue growth
       partially offset by the effect of $73,000 of initial operating losses
       related to geographic expansion.

       Adult Day Health Services

       Net Revenues.  The 15% increase in adult day health services revenues
       was a result  of improved pricing and  increased volumes in recurring
       centers  ($257,000  or  8%  on  same  store  revenues)  and  revenues
       generated  in startup  centers  ($260,000).   Total  days  of service
       provided increased 11.2%  from 58,478 in 1996 to 65,061  in 1997.  As
       of June 30,  1997, the Company had 19 centers  in operation versus 14
       centers at June 30, 1996.

       Costs of Sales  and Services.  As a percent  of net revenues, cost of
       sales  and services  increased due  to the  effect of  new operations
       which generated $430,000 of initial operating losses.


  Selling, General  and Administrative.   The increase of  $443,000 in these
  expenses is  due to:  a) normal year-to  year cost  increases and variable
  expenses  associated with  managing volume  growth in  existing operations
  ($250,000), and  b) increased  overhead expenses  (primarily personnel and
  travel)  related   to  the   Company's  geographic   expansion  activities
  ($192,000).

  Provision  for Uncollectible  Accounts.   The provision  for uncollectible
  accounts for  the quarters ended  June 30, 1997  and 1996  was recorded at
  approximately  3% of  net  revenues based  on  management's  evaluation of
  collectibility.

  Depreciation  and  Amortization.    The  increase  results primarily  from
  capital additions.

  Interest.    The increase  in Interest is  primarily the  result of higher
  average outstanding debt  levels and a 0.5% increase  in the interest rate
  on the revolving credit facility due to an increase in the prime rate.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a $12 million  revolving credit facility with the Healthcare
Financial Services Division of  Heller Financial, Inc.   Interest accrues on
amounts drawn  under  the  facility  at a  rate  of  1  percent  over prime.
Availability is determined pursuant to a formula principally consisting of a
percentage of accounts  receivable subject to  certain exclusions.   At June
30, 1997, the Company has total  cash and unused borrowings of approximately
$3.5 million available  for working capital  and development.   The facility
will remain in effect until October  13, 1998 and for  annual one year terms
thereafter unless either  party to the  credit agreement  provides the other
with a written notice of termination 60 days prior to the renewal date.
This facility should provide working capital resources sufficient to support
operations for the next year. Management will continuously pursue additional
capital including possible  debt and  equity investments  in the  Company to
support a more rapid development of the business than would be possible with
internal funds.

  Net cash  provided by operating  activities of  approximately $1.5 million
  resulted principally from current period earnings net of non-cash expenses
  such as depreciation  and bad debt provision.  Net  cash used in investing
  activities of approximately $1.5 million resulted principally from amounts
  invested  in  expansion activities  and  capital  expenditures  related to
  purchase of certain  durable medical equipment and real  estate.  Net cash
  of approximately $268,000 was used  in financing activities of by reducing
  the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility



Health Care Reform
- ------------------

The  health care  industry  is experienced  extensive and  dynamic  change. In
addition  to economic forces  and regulatory  influences, continuing political
debate  is subjecting the health  care industry to  significant reform. Health
care reform  proposals have been formulated by  the current federal government
administration,  members of  Congress,  and, periodically,  state legislators.
Government  officials  can  be  expected  to  continue  to  review and  assess
alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in
the law or  new interpretations of existing laws may have a dramatic effect on
the definition  of permissible or impermissible  activities, the relative cost
of doing business, and the methods and amounts of payments for medical care by
both  governmental  and  other payors.  Legislative  changes  to  "balance the
budget"  and slow  the  annual rate  of growth  of  Medicare and  Medicaid are
expected.  Such changes may impact  reimbursement for home  health care. There
can  be no assurance  that future legislation  or regulatory  changes will not
have a material adverse effect on the future operations of the Company.


Impact of Inflation
- -------------------

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income
during the past several years.
